Do you laugh at your own jokes?
Maybe it's the flu I'm having but I had a funny "YouTube comment" on a Harry potter video, on my head and when I came up with it I giggle for a good 30 seconds, my torax started hurting (again due the flu)... Ouch

Well, someone has to!
Yes, it's usually the first time I've heard it too.
Did that one make you laugh? Because I'm definitely stealing this
I constantly come back to jokes or funny things I've written on Lemmy just to laugh at my stupid joke again.
Only humourless people don't laugh at their own jokes.
If I didn't think it was funny myself, why would I tell it to anyone?
Who else is clever enough to grasp all the layers?
Like... An
ogreonion?If I don't find my joke funny, why tell it?
To make one's wife groan.
Exactly.
Even if I'm the only one laughing, I'm still gonna.
I'm the funniest person I know even though my wife would disagree
Well someone's gotta
Hell yeah. I'm funny as shit.
Sometimes I tell myself a joke in my head that's so funny I laugh out loud. Seemingly at random from anyone else's perspective.
My jokes are the funniest.
Sometimes it makes it funnier to laugh at your own jokes. Mitch Hedberg laughing at his own filler jokes cracks me up.
One of the reasons he'll always be one of my favorites is because he didn't take himself seriously and called many of his own filler jokes ridiculous. You could almost imagine him amongst the audience, laughing at himself on stage.
if you don't laugh at your own jokes your not being funny enough
I write and perform comedy, fairly low-level. To me it's a metronome on the fastest setting between "I am a genius, no one has ever been funnier" and "I can't even write a sentence let alone a joke, a funeral would be funnier"
More than my girlfriend does
Why make a joke if I'm not going to find it funny? I love to laugh
And live
And love
sometimes but not always.
Yes, if it’s a particularly funny one. There’s somethings I’ve said I still think about though not necessarily laugh.
Obviously. Everyone in my head says I'm hilarious
sometimes
Yes, because they're not funny, but if I get in the habit of laughing at them myself, someone nearby may not be paying attention and laugh along with me.
That should work, as soon as I have friends to be around me
Yes
in real life i usually have a pretty deadpan delivery, so i dont laugh at those for the most part. but when texting/posting online, i usually laugh at the funny ones. maybe it has to do with the time in between when i think of the joke and when i tell the joke. in real life, there's not much time in between for laughter, but typed jokes are a bit more premeditated
Yeah, probably more than I laugh about anything else tbh!
Yes - a lot. Mostly jokes i tell myself.
Sometimes yes, if I can't help it.
And sorry you are having the flu, that is dreadful, but enjoy the delirium.
Yeah it's a bit of a foible but I won't crack a joke unless it's already got me laughing internally.
If they're good I do
My jokes tend to be terrible, so not really, but what will really get me laughing is the reaction of other people to how terrible they are.
Probably shouldn't laugh at that to be fair, what with causing suffering and all that, but as suffering goes it could be far worse.
